Professionally and academically I lean towards things that combine computation and design, and I'm very interested in the social (i.e. inter-human) aspects of technology use. I currently work at
Bocoup
as a software engineer building applications using open web technologies.

Prior to that I worked at the
Visual Communication Lab
at
IBM Research,
where I worked on a number of information visualization projects. Ranging from text visualization to timelines to the behaviour of people in social networks.

Before the VCL I was a masters student in the
Sociable Media Group
at the
MIT Media Lab.
where I worked on projects that explored information visualization for everyday use and it's use as a visual language for communication and identity representation. As part of my dissertation work, I explored tools to support open source style development in artist-programmer comunities of practice.

Before SMG I worked at
OBX Labs
(an art research lab) where I worked on integrating typography and live human performance. OBX is located at
Concordia University,
Montreal where I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science with a minor in Digital Image Sound and the Fine Arts.
